I found the Global Certificate Course in Animal-Assisted Therapy for Relationship Building to be a really valuable learning experience. As a social worker in Egypt, I was interested in learning more about how animal-assisted therapy could be used to support vulnerable populations. The course provided a solid introduction to the field, covering topics such as the benefits of animal-assisted therapy, how to design and implement programs, and how to evaluate their effectiveness. I appreciated the diversity of perspectives and experiences shared by the instructors and fellow students, which helped me think critically about how to adapt animal-assisted therapy to different cultural contexts. While some of the course materials felt a bit theoretical, I found the case studies and group discussions to be really helpful in making the concepts more concrete. Overall, I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to learn about animal-assisted therapy, but might suggest supplementing it with some additional practical training.
